So, I’m bringing back the monthly ‘What To Wear Now’ posts, it’s something that I’m going to continue to do every month showing new ways to style looks which are both functional and style focused. I’ve found that I’ve been living in jeans for most of this year and I was getting pretty bored with the same old day-to-day look. This is why I decided to go for a dress, knit and boot combo to mix things up a little.

Wardrobe Favourite’s

Can you believe that Valentine’s Day is next week?! This year, date night is going to be low-key. I needed to find the perfect outfit for a night in with my boyfriend. After being super spendy over Christmas and going a little mad in the January sales my purse wasn’t exactly bursting at the seams!

So, here is my first ever vlog which was voted by my Instagram followers to be a ‘Get To Know Me’ video answering all your questions about me and how I became a blogger. I’m aiming to post a video every week talking all things style, beauty and travel.

With New Year’s Eve coming up this weekend I’ve planned ahead and have two dress options available; unsurprisingly they’re both from Self Portrait! With my outfit sorted, it’s now time to think about my make-up look so that I feel my best for the long night ahead! I search for products that’ll last the night; that means a long-lasting lipstick that’ll stay put for more than a glass of Champagne and a foundation that won’t budge after spending most of the night on the dance floor.
